Does Grace precede faith?
Does Grace precede "action"?
... in my case... Grace preceded my needed weight lose and habit change!
So for those who follow me on Facebook you already know my gaol is to loose 100 pounds this year. The short term goal is 2 - 3 pounds a week!
But here is some background info that you might find interesting.
A few weeks ago while I was making sales calls for work I meet Terry Stark owner of Chocolatrie STAM in Ames, IA. When I walked into his office he handed me a flyer for an event introducing new people to the "Take Shape for Life" program. Being a good sales man I instantly feigned* interest. But then after looking at the info thought I NEED TO GO TO THIS!!
I did, and the program inspired me to make small manageable changes in my eating habits, and cost me $0!!
Turned out this informational meeting was a gift of Grace from God at a very needed time in my life. You see I did not know how much I weighed until after this class. Stephanie brought home a scale for me to monitor my weight this week and according to this scale I weigh OVER 400 pounds!! I was shocked... MAD, and then very depressed...
But then I was reminded. God is watching over me. He inspired me to change my health habits even when I was NOT looking to do it.
Hope that makes since.
Well I am off....
Remember Grace is a free gift of God to an undeserving, unexpectant person.
Have you experienced the Grace of God??
Jesus is my King...
... is he yours?
*special thanks to Matt Heerema for reminding me of that word!
